Summary/Abstract: Sanctity constitutes a universal anthropological dimension for every religious person. Traditional socieities try to subject it to the control wielded by the community. The return to savage sanctity, which is taking place in present-day culture and European society, is linked with the deterioration of traditionala religious institutions and a transferrence from organic society to an anomic one. The author compared material borrowed from the ecstatic cults of Brazil and the counterculture movement in Europe.
